The days of paying $35 to $50 per join are grinding to a halt. You'll notice that even Maxcash has stopped paying the flat $35 per join they used to pay, and are now paying "$25 to $35 per join" (see http://www.maximumcash.com/0407/pay_details.php). Like Maxcash, I won't pay $35 to $50 per join. Ever. It's not worth it, for reasons to numerous to go into.

Think for your customers, and not yourself. Otherwise just keep sending to programs that you're affiliates for...
You don't have to be a dick about it man.

If they make that much from the traffic sending it to affiliate programs that pay them per signup, why would they sell it to you for less??

Just so YOU can make a profit off of THEIR traffic??

Also when buying traffic, you rarely make your profit "NOW" as you put it (unless you're buying traffic to send to a PPS program)
The profit is always in the rebills.
You should know what your per member value is and how much you can afford to pay for traffic, if you can't afford it then move on. No need to break things on your way out the door.
